in your post you just tried to outline the differences but i am having trouble pinpointing what differences there actually are between them. you said different games, but the multiplats outweigh the exclusives by a long shot, so thats not even true.


Except it is. Doesn't matter that there are more multiplats, there are still exclusives, therefore they have different librarys, fact. May not be a significant difference to you, but to others it is.

PS4 and Xbox one offer a very similar experience and share many of the same games.... it's just not worth buying both consoles, most of us either don't have the financial means or the time investment needed to own both.

For me to fork over $400 for a PS4 would be equivalent to 7-8 games on my Xbox one.

In order for any console to succeed you need exclusive and these exclusives are what is fueling console wars.

PS4 might be out selling the Xbox one right now but come this Holiday .... Halo 5, Rise of Tomb Raider & Forza 6 is going to make everything interesting again.

Happy gaming and 8th generation consoles war!!!

What exactly is the point of the argument? All three tried to innovate and so far Nintendo and MS abandoned the biggest things they tried to innovate with(Nintendo clearly with the Wii U since they will be releasing a new console and the 3ds getting all the games and support. MS abandoning support for their kinnect/TV functionality/TV show production) While Sony has already released one their shows instead of abandoning the studio/plans and building on their controller with game support of project Morpheus.

nintendo is not releasing a new console. they are continuing support for the wii u.

dude, youre literally trying to argue that the touch functionality on the ps4 is  the same as the touch functionality on the wii u. if you can show me that you know how to admit that youre wrong and retract that statement, maybe i could continue this with you.


It's not really different. It's the same tech and used for the same purposes in most games like Inventory/item management. The second screen feature is cool tho and the only thing that really sets the  two apart. As far as touch tech goes its the same. Ps4's controller has more game support tho than that of the wiiu, which is sad.

I have both consoles and collect all consoles. I am some what biased to Playstation. I feel like you just get more variety and I feel more like ms I there just to be there. I prefer the online players on ps as well. I think they can both be great but this and last gen is mostly playstation for me. I wouldn't consider myself a complete fan boy but if someone asks me what console to get I usually tell them ps4 unless they are mad for halo. In my opinion the hardware is close but that's it. They both have different UI, brand image and direction.

so the differences are the exclusives. ok, i can accept that, and if you read the OP, i fully acknowledge that and say that is a meaningful difference. is there anything besides that?

That poll shows how childish the gaming comunity is today. Both consoles are twins. Yet one is garbage but the other is the second coming of Jesus. Logic not found.
